Ask Flim and Flam!

[BionicBrony 385]

Flim: Greetings Everypony! Might we have the pleasure of introducing ourselves?

 

Flam: Well If we may, he's Flim!

 

Flam: He's Flam!

 

Flim: And we've opened up a forum to come ot you today! Ask us anything!

 

Flam: Anything at ALL!

 

Flim: And we shall answer it!

 

[MidnightRush 104]

Flim, Why did you decide against a moustache, unlike your brother?

[Ianpiersonjdavis 514]

What inspired the two of you to begin making and selling cider?

[Jeric 46,890]

Didn't I see you two in Bioshock 3?

[~ Dr. Ocsid ~ 690]

Are you in any way related to C.M.O.T. Dibbler?

[Lightning Bliss 1,674]

How's the cider business going? You still making any profit? If so where do you both get your apples?

[BionicBrony 385]

Flim, Why did you decide against a moustache, unlike your brother?

Flim: Actually that's my brother FLAM who has the mustache!

 

Flam: I thought it'd look rather good and help to...distinguish me from my brother, Flim!

 

 

What inspired the two of you to begin making and selling cider?

 

Flim: Let's just say that we may have lived near an apple farm.

 

Flam: A very close apple farm,

 

Flim: And we decided that, upon creating the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000,

 

Flam: We'd make cider!

 

 

Didn't I see you two in Bioshock 3?

 

Flim: whatever do you mean?

 

 

Are you in any way related to C.M.O.T. Dibbler?

 

Flam: Whoever is that?

 

Flim: That's most unpredictably,

 

Flam: Most certianly,

 

Flim: Not in any way related to us!

 

 

How's the cider business going? You still making any profit? If so where do you both get your apples?

 

Flam: Well that's three questions in one!

 

Flim: well after the expedenture in Ponyville,

 

Flam: A most failed one, if I may add,

 

Flim: The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 600 broke down,

 

Flam: Unable to be fixed, dear brother of mine!

 

Flim: Too true brother! But luckily we managed to have a change of pace!

 

Flam: A very good change of buiseness!

 

Flim: And as for the apples,

 

Flam: That's confidential information!

 

Flim: Our ears only!

[Jeric 46,890]

Do you ever feel unfulfilled not having two more brothers to do a Barbershop Quartet? I bet you could give the Ponytones a run for their money.

[BionicBrony 385]

Do you ever feel unfulfilled not having two more brothers to do a Barbershop Quartet? I bet you could give the Ponytones a run for their money.

Flam: Well we DO have a most superb singing voice.

 

Flim: But if you take a look at our cutie marks,

 

Flam: Our apples!

 

Flim: We're more suited to...apple products rather than singing!

[Lightning Bliss 1,674]

So why is it you two feel the need to 'lie' to your customers about your products?

[Jeric 46,890]

Only Apples? Ever consider opening a storefront that specialized in giving people loans for their goods that they have laying around the house?

[BionicBrony 385]

So why is it you two feel the need to 'lie' to your customers about your products?

Flim: Lying?! That's not lying!

 

Flam: it's simply bending the truth,

 

Flim: Taking a little bit of the ponies' awarnessa nd using it!

 

Flam: It's not lying at all!

 

Flam: I'm rather offeneded that that was brought up, brother!

 

Fliim: As am I, brother!

 

Flam: *hmph*

Only Apples? Ever consider opening a storefront that specialized in giving people loans for their goods that they have laying around the house?

Flim: We specialize in apple products!

 

Flam: although my my my I dare say that's not a bad idea.

 

Flim: That's a rather...itneresting prospect.

 

Flam: Perhaps we could...consider it.

(@BionicBrony, I just moved your thread to the appropriate section. Any future Ask a Pony threads should be placed here.)

[Everleaf 542]

So you brothers pulled off two sales by cider and that tonic of yours and I see it worked out too I wonder if you had come up with anything other than them

 

oh yes and I wonder your cider had been at least reasonable however the next time you decide to make a fake tonic (yes I know about it being fake by far) I would at least work harder when it came to the tonic at LEAST work a little harder you brothers together must work harder...

Flam: Why...why of all things to say!

 

Flim: The tonic most certianly wasn't a fake!

 

Flam: It simply didn't work on everypony!

 

Flim: Now how is it that you dare come to that conclusion that we are conning ponies?

 

Flam: Simply...truely remarkable you even think of it!

 

Flim: I refuse to answer that question, don't you agree brother?

 

Flam: I agree completely, brother.

 

Flim: We are HARD workers!

 

Flam: We have to work hard to market all this!

[Old Fluttershy 349]

You work hard to market this stuff.

So why did you want to take over the Apple family's farm and destroy their lives? Couldn't you have at least tried to work something better out?

[BionicBrony 385]

Flim: Well do you even KNOW the price of land outside of Ponyville?

 

Flam: It's much too expensive to try and buy ourselves!

 

Flim: but our cider and our profits were much better in Ponyville.

 

Flam: Almost 125% greater than most of our other sites!

 

Flim: And so we simply took advantage of the opportunity!

[Old Fluttershy 349]

 

And so we simply took advantage of the opportunity!

By running very hard working ponies out of business.

You didn't even at least try to come up with some kind of compromise with the apples. You just went and said either give us 75% of the profits or we'll take over the cider business.

Flim: May I also add they were providing the raw resource?

 

Flam: We provided the machinery,

 

Flim: the magic,

 

Flam: The manufacturing,

 

Flim: Packaging,

 

Flam: supplying,

 

Flim: And the collecting!

 

Flam: do you know anything about the chain of buiseness?

[Old Fluttershy 349]

Of course I know about the chain of business. And the Apples couldn't keep the farm with only 25% of the profits. They needed to keep the farm and you needed to make a profit. I'm sure their was room in their somewhere for some sort of compromise so that everypony would be happy.

Do you two find this remix awesome or offensive?

Flim: We've expalined everythign to you.

 

Flam: My my my, I think this pony doesn't really want to listen to us.

 

Flim: Humph.
